Additional Information

As a Shuttle, VIP, 4 x 4 or Swing driver we are contracted by the Production company shooting a movie at that time. In particular the Swing Drivers can be working on as many as three or four different projects at once. This is because the productions in the main, move sites on different days and nights. There are times they will clash and at that point its up to the driver to choose which company they work for that night. Each production company has a large list of drivers they can contact.

Some productions I have worked on;

Lord of the Rings television series 1

Sweet Tooth

Only Cloud knows

Letter to the King

Falling Inn Love

Power of the Dog

Monkey

Toke
